What do you do with stray cats when the city and shelters will not take them?

Check your area for adopt-a-pet volunteers. Contact your local adopt-a-pet and see if there are any volunteers who would be willing to accept them. Volunteers usually keep the pets until they can adopt them out.

Post fliers or put an ad in the paper asking for somebody who wants the pet or will take it in long enough to find it a home. I have also had good luck posting ads with my local veterinary clinics. Most people who visit them are animal lovers and know other animal lovers.

If you include a photo of the pet and a nice description as well as your intent to find the pet a good home soon, you might be surprised how quickly you get a response. Sources: 1-800-save-a-pet.com/ .

Well, I'm not sure where you live but in my area if there is an abundant number of stray cats the county will allow you the use of their traps. You could trap them and bring them to the pound. Sad, but true, they will be put to sleep.

If you are talking about one or two cats, then you should maybe speak to your local area vet and see about spaying and neutering programs and if they would be willing to help you out. Some agencys will set up free or low cost spay/neuter clinics where you can bring the animal in. I have done this twice and had two cats adopt me.

Up to you to determine how bad the cat population has become where you are.

Spay and neuter Our shelter provides humane traps for feral cats then when you bring the cats in they will spay or neuter them for a nominal fee and return them to you for release. A lot of people don't mind feeding feral cats they just don't want them breeding. By providing an ultra cheap service the shelter helps cut back on future population sxplosions..

Catch, sterilize and release. There are way more cats than homes, as you're seeing first hand. Everyone is full up, it's insane, but people are lazy and don't care.

The best thing you can do is catch them, get them fixed and release them. Many vets will offer serious discounts for catch/release spay/neuters and many private and state orgs offer assistance as well. The very best place to start is with a Google search for state name spay/neuter assistance..

I can't imagine them not accepting not taking an cat or dog being surrendered to them. If you have tried the SPCA and they refused, try looking for one of their locations outside the city, in the suburbs. Take a look at PetFinder.com(petfinder.com/shelters.html), you might find animal rescue groups you weren't even aware of.

Hope this helps. Sources: http://www.petfinder.com/, spca.com/ .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
